'A bookshop is a first-rate place for unobtrusive observation,' he
continued. 'One can remain in it an indefinite time, dipping into
one book after another, all over the place.' Mr Richard Dodsley,
owner of a fine second-hand bookshop on Charing Cross Road, has
been found murdered in the cold hours of the morning. Shot in his
own office, few clues remain besides three cigarette ends, two
spent matches and a few books on the shelves which have been
rearranged. In an investigation spanning the second-hand bookshops
of London and the Houses of Parliament (since an MP's new crime
novel Death at the Desk appears to have some bearing on the case),
Ferguson's series sleuth MacNab is at hand to assist Scotland Yard
in an atmospheric and ingenious fair-play bibliomystery.

First published in 1989, Among the Gods uses archaeological
evidence to explore ancient Greek religion. The book analyses
cult-statues and inscriptions to provide a detailed discussion of
gods and goddesses, the priesthood, and healing sanctuaries. In
doing so, it highlights the external, formal nature of religious
practice in ancient Greece, such as pilgrimages, offerings, and
hallowed sites. Archaeological records are used to examine both the
theory and practice of ancient Greek religion, and to provide
context to a variety of Greek myths and Greek literature. Among the
Gods will appeal to those with an interest in religious history,
archaeological history, and Classical history.
This book studies the pilgrimage of the Ancient World in its search
for moral truth. After a brief examination of the values which
dominated Homeric society and the subsequent aristocracies, the
central portion of the book is an account and analysis of the moral
ideas which illuminated the Greek, Roman and Hebrew worlds during
the classical period. The volume discusses the cardinal virtues,
the place of friendship, Plato's love, philanthropia and the moral
insights of the Jewish prophets and subsequently examines Christian
love.
